"Wuji County was captured by the Jizhou army. We have a trap. Withdraw. Withdraw quickly."

Tian Kai's eyes widened, his eyes full of fear.

He was fighting on the front line. Wuji County in the rear fell silently. What a terrifying thing. However, Tian Kai just shouted. Before he could turn his horse's head, Gan Ning had already rode his horse and killed him. In the air, the cold sword light flashed away. Tian Kai's expression froze in an instant. There was no change. The spirit in his eyes gradually disappeared.

The next moment, the bloody marks on the neck completely cracked.

puff.

Blood splattered. Blood splattered on Tian Kai's neck was like a spring water splattering, constantly flowing out.

Bang.

Tian Kai fell to the ground with a bang and died.

Gan Ning held the knife and fought while shouting: "Tian Kai is dead. Those who surrender will not be killed."

A loud roar sounded in the city.

The soldiers following Tian Kai were already frightened by the cavalry. They saw Tian Kai being killed. When they heard the words of surrender, they quickly put down the weapons in their hands and kneeled down to surrender.

The whole process is no more than two quarters of an hour.

This battle ended in a hurry.

Wen Chou came to Gan Ning with a boring expression and smiled and said, "General Gan. I was unhappy in this battle. I haven't started fighting yet. They all surrendered."

Gan Ning smiled and said loudly: "We need to fight. Some behind are. Tian Kai is just a shrimp soldier and crab general. Gongsun Zan behind is the real big fish."

Looking at the detained Youzhou soldiers, Gan Ning waved his hand and ordered: "Get off."

Immediately, hundreds of cavalry led Youzhou soldiers to the military camp in the city. The closed door soon opened again and the county town returned to peace.

Tian Kai was killed. News quickly spread.

At this time, Gan Ning had already sent people to Xiaquyang County to report the news, waiting for Taishici's army to arrive.

At the end of June, Taishici led a large army from Xiaquyang County. In addition to Taishici, Wang Lei also led Shi A, Lu Bu and Dian Wei to lead the army to set off. In addition, Guo Jia, Tian Feng, Shen Pei and others who were in Yangshi County also mobilized the troops stationed in Yangshi County to rush to Wuji County.

...

Zhongshan Kingdom. Beiping County.

This place borders Youzhou Zhuo County.

After Gongsun Zan led the army south, he placed the base camp of the Youzhou Army in Beiping County. He was in Beiping County and was waiting for news about Tian Kai. However, what Gongsun Zan did not expect was that the good news did not come back. Instead, the bad news came first.

Tian Kai was wiped out. Gongsun Zan did not eat for a whole day and night.

Sitting in the tent, without saying a word.

Seeing this, the officials below began to shake their minds.

The morale of the army has been affected.

As the chief minister, Guan Jing was also Gongsun Zan's confidant. Guan Jing has always been the matter of Guan Jing taking care of the military camp. The morale in the army is unstable. Guan Jing knew that the crux of the matter lies with Gongsun Zan. Guan Jing brought Gongsun Zan's second brother Liu Weitai, third brother Li Yizi, and fourth brother Le Hedang with him. He came to Gongsun Zan's tent together.

After the four of them saluted, they sat down in the tent.

Gongsun Zan looked haggard and asked, "You come to me. Is there any new news?"

Guan Jing said: "Lord, we came for Tian Kai's business. Tian Kai was defeated and killed. This is already a thing of the past. Immersed in failure again. It is meaningless. The war is still going on. Please cheer up and dispatch troops to fight Wang Lei."

Gongsun Zan smiled with a bitter expression. Suddenly, he asked, "Guan Jing. Are you wrong when you say you are against Wang Lei? Is this move not right?"

brush.

Guan Jing's face changed drastically. Gongsun Zan's heart was shaken.

Seeing this, Guan Jing quickly winked and asked Le Hedang and others to persuade him.

At this time, Gongsun Zan must be stabilized.

Le Hedang thought about it and said slowly, "Brother, it's not your fault. It's Tian Kai's use of the chess piece placed next to Taishi Ci, creating the best conditions for Tian Kai. However, Tian Kai still failed. This is not your fault. It's Tian Kai's fault."

Guan Jing nodded and agreed, "The two generals are right. There are also generals such as Shan Jing, Yan Gang and Zhao Yun under the command of the lord. The lord is determined and united as one. He will definitely defeat Wang Lei."

Li Yizi smiled slightly and continued, "Brother, I also think the fourth brother's words make sense. Now is the critical time to fight Wang Lei. We will retreat with the army and be completely defeated by Wang Lei. If we want to enter Jizhou in the future, it will be difficult. We must take advantage of the opportunity now and take down Wang Lei."

The talisman Liu Weitai narrowed his eyes slightly and said slowly, "When Big Brother Tian Kai went to fight, the celestial phenomena showed that Big Brother would definitely win. However, the reason for his failure was caused by Tian Kai. I watched the celestial phenomena at night and saw the stars in Jizhou obscurity. It seemed that something big was about to happen. At this time, it was the time to counterattack Wang Lei. You can't miss it."

Gongsun Zan's brothers all persuaded them with all their might.

They are all brothers of Gongsun Zan. They are tied to the same rope as Gongsun Zan. They prosper and prosper and lose.

Therefore, everyone hopes that Gongsun Zan will get better and better.

After hearing the words of several people, Gongsun Zan gradually became more and more energetic. Gongsun Zan looked at Liu Weitai with his eyes and said, "Second brother, are you sure?"

Liu Weitai patted his chest and said, "Can I deceive my brother? Brother? This is an opportunity."

When Gongsun Zan heard this, he immediately laughed.

Taking a deep breath, Gongsun Zan was about to speak, and suddenly his stomach gushes.

Gongsun Zan didn't eat for a day and a night. He was so hungry long ago.

Guan Jing was good at observing his expressions and immediately ordered: "Come on, prepare meals for the lord." The order was issued. The soldiers outside the tent immediately prepared. In less than a quarter of an hour, dishes were served one after another, as well as chicken soup, rice, etc., all placed on Gongsun Zan's desk. Gongsun Zan was not vague. He started to move with his chopsticks.

After eating and drinking, after the soldiers packed up the dishes, Gongsun Zan looked at Guan Jing and asked, "This battle was confronted by Wang Lei. Tian Kai was defeated. What should we do next?"

Guan Jing replied: "Report to the lord. There are three strategies for the lord, the upper, the lower, and the lower. For the lord to choose."

Gongsun Zan raised his eyebrows and waved his hand and said, "Hurry up and listen."

When he heard that Guan Jing had three strategies, Gongsun Zan was naturally very happy. He thought to himself: Guan Jing said so seriously. He must be very sure.

Guan Jing said: "The best strategy is that the lord sends an army to quietly bypass Wuji County and go to Xiaquyang County to attack Xiaquyang County. Capture Xiaquyang County and cut off the rear route of Taishici's army. The rear route is cut off. Taishici will undoubtedly be defeated."

Gongsun Zan thought for a while and asked, "Where is Zhongce."

Although the best strategy sounds good, it is not easy to implement it.

It is almost impossible to capture Xiaquyang County quietly.

Guan Jing replied: "Zhongce. The lord led his troops to confront Wang Lei. At the same time, he sent assassins to assassinate the generals and officials under Wang Lei, disrupting the morale of the Jizhou army and taking the opportunity to defeat Wang Lei."

After hearing this, Gongsun Zan was a little moved, but after thinking about it carefully, he still shook his head.

Yuan Shao sent people to assassinate the great scholars in Jizhou, causing an uproar.

Since that incident, Wang Lei has dispatched his power to protect his officials and generals. It is not easy to assassinate Wang Lei's officials. More importantly, Gongsun Zan knows that Wang Lei has trained assassins. Regarding the assassination methods, Wang Lei is even more powerful.

Once he sets a precedent to assassinate Wang Lei’s officials, I’m afraid Wang Lei will use any means.

At that time, he will suffer.

Gongsun Zan asked, "The Chief Secretary. What is the worst strategy."

Guan Jing fell silent, and the expression on his face became very serious.

Liu Weitai said: "What is the worst plan for the Chief Secretary? No matter what kind of suggestions it is, the elder brother must consider it and then decide whether to adopt it after weighing the pros and cons."

Guan Jing sighed lightly: "The worst strategy is to use Zhao Yun and lure Wang Lei's army."

"How to lure it." Gongsun Zan asked.

Guan Jing said: "I sent someone to investigate Zhao Yun's situation. Zhao Yun's teacher Tong Yuan was in Ye County. He was Wang Lei's elder. At the beginning, Wang Lei arrested Zhao Yun, but let Zhao Yun go. It was because the two sides had a certain relationship. Since Zhao Yun and Wang Lei had this relationship, Zhao Yun led an army from Beiping County and went south to attack Wuji County. With Zhao Yun's leadership ability, he would definitely not be defeated by Wang Lei easily. As long as Zhao Yun lures Wang Lei's main force out, we will send troops quietly and surround Wang Lei's army. We will undoubtedly win."

Gongsun Zan's eyes lit up. He was already moved.

Gongsun Zan has heard about the matter between Zhao Yun and Wang Lei.

In the past, Gongsun Zan sent Zhao Yun to lead troops to attack Wang Lei. However, Zhao Yun did not attack Wang Lei first. Instead, he attacked Wuhuan and then attacked Wang Lei.

Gongsun Zan has always kept this incident in his heart.

After listening to Guan Jing's suggestion, Gongsun Zan stood up and ordered: "The chief minister's three strategies, the middle and the lower. According to my opinion, the best strategy is the best. Go and pass the order. Let Zhao Yun command the 6,000 troops as the vanguard. Go south to attack Wuji County."

"promise."

Guan Jing nodded and went to make arrangements immediately.

After seeing this, Liu Weitai, Li Yizi, Le Hedang and others were relieved.

As long as Gongsun Zan's fighting spirit is still there, everything is easy to say.

...

On this day, a large army came from outside Wuji County. This army was obviously an army led by Taishici. At the same time, Wang Lei, Lu Bu, Dian Wei and others also arrived.

The army was stationed outside the city. Wang Lei and others walked into the city.

Somehow, the news that Wang Lei arrived in the county town spread throughout the city.

After the people found out, they came to welcome them. Since Tian Kai came to Wuji County, they either recruited soldiers or collected grain, which made the people complain. Wang Lei brought the army to kill him. Naturally, the people opened the door to welcome them.

Wang Lei came to the Prime Minister's Mansion and temporarily settled in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Two days later, Guo Jia, Tian Feng, Shen Pei and others led a large army and also arrived in Wuji County. The base camp moved from Yangshi County to Wuji County. Wang Lei summoned his men to the Prime Minister's Mansion to discuss the next battle.

Everyone gathered in the hall.

Wang Lei sat directly above and glanced at the person below and said, "After many years, we are back and back to Wuji County. When we evacuated from Zhongshan Kingdom, I said that we will definitely come back. Gongsun Zan's hatred for occupying Zhongshan Kingdom will definitely be taken back."
